“This was a wonderful day trip with Fernando! He showed us incredibly beautiful parts of the Douro Valley including a stop at a wine tasting where we sat outside overlooking the magnificent terraced mountains and the Douro River. The day also featured a lunch stop right on the Douro River, a river boat cruise and a visit to a winery run by a charming and warm family. The day went very smoothly, from pick-up to drop-off, and Fernando orchestrated everything from start to finish. We highly recommend this tour with Fernando!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 8 reviews · 10 hours · from $211

Spend 10 hours with a private guide visiting Amarante, Peso da Régua, Lamego, and Pinhão. You’ll see churches and a castle, taste local sweets, eat a traditional lunch, and tour a Port wine estate. Rui and Oleksandra are among the guides named for this experience.

“The only good thing about this tour was seeing Douro Valley and the tour provided at the winery by a different tour guide. Overall, this was easily the worst tour we have ever taken and advise other travelers to select an alternative Douro Valley tour. The tour guide was inexperienced and lacked understanding of timing and social engagement. The guide was 90 minutes picking us up for the tour and 2 hours late dropping ya back to Porto. He walked us through torrential rain to show us irrelevant sights and the meal provided was the worst we experienced while touring the country. a truly stressful and unpleasant tour experience.”
